Melon Granita
Nov
A granita is a rustic but sophisticated frozen dessert that does not require an ice cream make.
Combine melon, apple juice and lemon juice in a blender; puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass or metal pan.
Place the pan on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze, stirring and scraping with a fork every 30 Minutes, moving the frozen edges in toward the slushy center and crushing any lumps, until the granita is firm but not frozen solid, 3 to 4 hours.
Remove from the freezer; use a metal spatula or large spoon to break up the frozen ice into small slivers. Pack into an airtight plastic container and freeze for at least 1 Hour Longer.
Remove from the freezer about 20 Minutes before serving to soften slightly. Use a large fork to scrape the granita into shallow bowls. Sprinkle blueberries over each portion and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
